Gannon University, Erie, PA

• Doctorate in Physical Therapy, University of

Southern California, Los Angeles, CA

• Orthopedic Physical Therapy Residency,

University of Southern California, Los Angeles,

Disclosures

• I have nothing to Disclose

Objectives

• Discuss the components of functional testing

for lower extremity injuries

• Identify the criteria that athletes must meet to

return to their sport

• Describe strategies to transition between

formal rehabilitation and performance

training

Recognizing the current limitations

• Return to Sport (RTS) testing is common,

however, it is variable, not standardized, and

continuing to evolve

Why Do We Test?

• Return to Sport Testing is an important process with regards to readiness for participation in high level activities in order to decrease risk of re-injury or secondary injury

• Risk Factors for Injury: Previous Injury, Asymmetry, and Fatigue

– Following ankle sprains, up to 75% of individuals will suffer a recurrent sprain, with up to 70% of those patients developing chronic instability (Hubbard and Wikstrom 2010)

– 30% of patients with non-contact ACL tear could have a second ACL tear within 2 years, up to 6x more likely to have an ACL tear compared to healthy controls (Paterno 2014)

Who Do We Test?

• Elite Athletes, Recreational Athletes, Tactical Athletes (Military, Police, EMS)

• Post-Surgical Patients

– This is relatively common (not-standardized) area of Return to Sport Testing, especially in ACL-R Rehabilitation

• Non-Surgical Patients

– Muscle Strains

• Hamstring strains most common

– Sprains

RTS Decision Making

• Time vs. Medical Examination vs. Return to Sport Testing

– Clinical Exam Clearance with same relative risk when compared to Y-Bal/FMS, however, do not necessarily test/clear to same patients (Mayer et al. 2015)

– Recent researchers suggest that time may be most significant factor associated with re-injury/secondary injury (ACL-R), and advisable wait time up to 2 years (Paterno et al 2014)

– Generalizing data, desired LSI is at least 90% across the board

RTS Decision Making – Functional

Outcome Measures

• Hip

– Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS), Hip Outcome Score (HOS), Harris Hip Score, Patient Specific Functional Scale (PSFS)

• Knee

– LEFS, Knee Outcome Score (KOS), International Knee Documentation Committee Subjective Knee Evaluation (IKDC), PSFS

• Foot/Ankle

– LEFS, Foot and Ankle Outcomes Questionnaire, PSFS

RTS Testing: What makes a good test?

• Reliable – the degree to which a test produces consistent results

• Reproducible – in the research, the methods described in such completeness that the study can be re-created exactly as done by original researchers

• Predictive of Injury

• Valid – it tests what it is supposed to

• Feasible – taking account cost, the test materials, space, time needed, as well as many other factors, is it possible for you to do?

Levels of Assessment: Return to Sport

Testing

• Clinical Examination

• Limb Symmetry Index (LSI) Testing

– Basic Functional/Early Clinical Tests

– Transitional Strength/Endurance/Technique

– Power/Control/Deceleration

• Endurance Testing

• Advanced Agility/Field Tests

• Re-integration into each facet of sport leading up to full clearance – On Field Progression

RTS Decision Making – Clinical Exam

• Goal prior to progressing to more rigorous RTS Testing is that the patient pass a Clinical Exam, with satisfactory scores in regards to:

– Pain

– Swelling

– Range of Motion/Flexibility

– Strength

– Gait

• Successful re-integration back to ADL

Limb Symmetry Index Testing

• Limb Symmetry Index (LSI) Testing

– Basic Functional/Early Clinical Tests

• Functional Movement Screen (FMS)

• Y-Balance/Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT)

• Isokinetic Testing

Functional Movement Screen

• Screening tool created by Cook et el. in 1997

• Goal to identify asymmetries which result in movement deficiencies

• Numerous Studies to demonstrate Reliability/Validity (Cook et al 1998, Teyhen et al 2012, Parenteau 2013)

• Consists of Seven Movement Patterns Graded from 0-3 Points (21 points possible)– 3/3 No Compensations

– 2/3 Able to Perform movement with Compensations

– 1/3 Unable to Perform Movement

– 0/3 Pain during attempted movement

• Cut-Off Score of 14/21

FMS

Y-Balance / SEBT

• Y-Balance Test derived from Star Excursion

Balance Test first described by Gary Gray in

1995

– SEBT: 8 Directions, 6 Practice Trials, 3

Measurements, 144 Repetitions

– Y-Balance: 3 Reaches, Anterior, Posterior-Medial,

and Posterior-Lateral

– Tests dynamic balance at the limits of stability

Lower Quarter Y-Balance

Posterior Medial Reach

Posterior Lateral ReachAnterior Reach

https://www.functionalmovement.com/Store/23/y-balance_test_kit

Lower Quarter Y-Balance

• Used to assess dynamic strength/balance at limits of stability

• Measures Limb Symmetry as well as Composite Score:– (Ant Reach + PM Reach + PL Reach) / 3x Limb Length x 100

• Different scores predictive for different populations

– Butler et al. established Composition Cut-Off of 89% for College Football Players

– Plisky et al. demonstrated Composition Cut-Off of 94% for High School Basketball Players

Lower Quarter Y-Balance

• 4cm Difference L/R Difference Anterior Reach

results in 2.5x increased risk for injury – Plisky

et al 2006

• Better Posterior-Lateral Reach decreases risk

for ankle sprains – de Noronha et al 2012

Isokinetic Testing

• Isokinetics have been around since 1950s

• Isokinetic Testing measures various factors of muscle activation/strength for a designated(set) speed of movement

• Data for nearly all body regions, with most proliferative area being the knee

Isokinetic Testing

• Common Velocities tested: 60/180/300 deg/sec

• Goal of at least 85-90% Symmetry

• Common Variables Evaluated:– Peak Torque (Most Common in literature per Davies et

al)

– Torque/Body Weight Ratio

– Angle Specific Torque

– Total Work

– Average Power

– Rate of Force Development

– Quadriceps/Hamstrings Ratio

Drop Jump – Landing Error Scoring

System

• Patient jumps from 30cm box, landing on both

feet at a distance ½ of their height way from the

box, then immediately performs a maximal

vertical jump

• Scored out of 19 Points - Higher Scores reflect

poor technique and indicate Higher Risk for Injury

• Valid, Reliable, Predictive (Padua 2009, 2015)

• Scores <5 Indicate Low Risk for ACL Injury (Fox et

al 2016)

LESS Scoring Sheet

LESS Demonstration Video

Tuck Jump

• Introduced by Myer et al in 2008 as a “Clinician Friendly Plyometric Assessment…”

• Patient performs repeated Tuck Jumps over the duration of 10 seconds, and is graded according to movement flaws that exist

• 10 potential flaws assessed, in addition to number of jumps per test– Higher score = more flaws present

• Conflicting data regarding reliability, with studies suggesting a steep learning curve with assessment – Video Analysis could be helpful in this area

• Useful test to help educate patient and guide treatment

Tuck Jump Assessment

Read et al. 2016

Vertical Jump• Used to Assess Lower Extremity Power

• Double Leg and Single Leg Jumping– Goal to achieve at least 85% LSI

• Petshnig et al. (1998) found that at 1 year out, only Single Leg Vertical Jump was found to be less than 85% LSI when Isokinetic testing, SL Hop for Distance, and SL Triple Hop for Distance were over 85% LSI– Utilized Jump Plate, 10 seconds of repeated jumping, with

instructions to have shortest possible amount of contact time

• Lee 2018 felt that LSI goal of 89% appropriate, with correlations to passing scores with SL Hop and Isokinetic Testing (peak extensor torque and extensor strength deficit)

Testing Batteries

• “Back In Action” Test Battery– Blend of tests which utilize technology to aide in risk

stratification, some of which are newly established tasks

• Functional Lower Extremity Evaluation – FLEE– Utilizes more established functional tests

• Kyritsis et al. “Six”– Likelihood of ACL graft rupture increased with patients not

meeting six clinical discharge criteria before return to sport and is associated with a four times greater risk of rupture (2016)

• Isokinetic Testing: Quadriceps deficit < 10% at 60 deg/sec)

• Noyes Hop Testing at least 90% LSI

• Running T-Test <11 Seconds

• Completed On-Field Sports Specific Rehab

Hitting our Check-Points to Stay on

Track

• It is often helpful to decide upon Initial Evaluation which tests are going to be the most appropriate for your patients– Examples: Type of Injury, Surgical/Non-Surgical, Age, Sport,

Professional/Elite Youth/Recreational Levels, Previous Sport Testing (40YD, Yo-Yo Test, etc), Coach/ATC/Personal Trainer involvement, Insurance Limitations

• Based on those decisions, you can have pre-planned “check-points” in regards to what you want to test, and when (time point or functional criteria met)

Hitting our Check-Points to Stay on

Track• Often easier to plan check-points when surgical such as

with ACL-R– Example:

• 12 Weeks: Goal to pass clinical Exam, Perform FMS/Y-Balance to assess for impairments

• 4 Months: Isokinetic Testing initiated, If no isokinetic testing available, consider Vail Sport Cord Test, or “Control Sequence” of FLEE

• 4-6 Months: Hop testing

• 6-12 Months: Conditioning/Agility Testing

• This timeline of Check-Points will be significantly altered with non-contact such as lateral ankle sprain or a hamstring strain, especially when considering the degree of injury and whether or not they are in their primary season

Technology

• Recently, there has been a big push to move toward technologically assisted assessments due to the ability of technology to capture so much data in a short amount of time

• Examples include both wearable and external equipment:– Force Plates

– Accelerometers

– Motion Capture Cameras

• There are various companies which utilize technology and software to help risk stratify– ”CoRehab’s ‘Back in Action’”, 3-Planes Movement Specialists, Sparta Science

• There is also Risk Stratification Software which allows tester to enter data from tests performed– For example: Move 2 Perform

• Technology will play a big part in the future of Return to Sport Testing

The Psychological

Aspect of Returning to Sport• Kinesiophobia – a primary psychosocial construct which

refers to the fear of movement/re-injury

• ”fear of reinjury can adversely result in both physiological (such as muscular guarding) and psychological changes (such as distraction and lack of trust in the injured site) that can affect rehabilitation outcomes..”

• Following ACL-R: fear of re-injury appears to be phase specific (depending on time-frame)– Inconsistent early on, but later in rehab, Increased fear is

associated with decreased Self-Reported Function

• Following Achilles Ruptures: Increased fear associated with decreased function

Communication Between Professionals

with Return to Sport as Goal• Who are the Facilitators for Return to Sport Testing

– Physicians, Physical Therapists, Athletic Trainers, Coaches, Performance Coaches

• Excellent Communication between Facilitators is needed to help minimize the risk of returning a previously injured athlete back to performance– Physicians often want to know from the Rehab Professionals what the

patient’s clinical exam looks like, where they are in regards to functional demands, and whether there is limb symmetry

– Rehab Professionals often want to know from Physician where the patient stands in regards to tissue healing, and when functional tasks/tests can be performed, and then when they are comfortable with more impact related testing

– Performance Staff/Coaches often want to know from Rehab Professionals what they are “cleared” to do: Weightlifting, Conditioning, Skills, Non-Contact vs. Contact Practice, Live Competition

Transitioning from Formal

Rehabilitation to Performance Training• Using movement analysis in early stages of rehab can help guide

the patient’s motor programming as they move toward performance (if they demonstrate a movement dysfunction at a slower speed, you can bet that they demonstrate it at a faster speed, even if you can’t see it)

• Patients who are returning to high level sports must understand the underlying concepts of the exercises they are performing– Alignment and shock absorption with numerous variables

manipulated:• Single vs. Multiplanar, Loaded vs Unloaded, Speed, Amplitude, Acceleration vs

Deceleration, Multi-step exercises (Run, Cut, Jump combinations)

– From Simple Pre-planned moving toward Complex Reactive tasks

Examples of Early Movement Faults

�Sled Push – L LE: Extensor Thrust, Heel Drop, Hip Pop

↑Sled Pull – L LE: Decreased Knee Extension,

Shorter Stance Phase

Examples of Early Movement Faults

←Ladder “Icky” Shuffle - L LE: Dec Shock

absorption, Dec Eccentric knee flexion,

Inc Trunk Lean (Tibia/Trunk not parallel)

Hop and Stick – L LE: Dec Shock

absorption, Dec Eccentric knee flexion,

Inc Trunk Lean (Tibia/Trunk not parallel), →

Rapid Trunk Extension “Whip” to

generate momentum to return to

start

Take Home Points

• Return to Sport Testing/Screening is important for all injuries that result in time-loss, not just surgical cases

• In order to be ready to Return to Sport, the Athlete first needs to feel ready. In order to be Cleared for Return to Sport, they need to Provethey are ready

• Clusters of tests are more powerful than individual tests, and each test has a purpose. An appropriate cluster incorporates the tests most appropriate for each patient.

Take Home Points

• Clinicians should begin to decide early on which RTS Tests the patient should pass, so the treatment plan/direction can be reflected by those goals, and all appropriate communication between facilitators can be achieved

• Don’t miss an opportunity to improve a patient’s future performance training with appropriate coaching during rehab

Thank You!
